    If this fight happens will the WBA slice be on the line?

    I forgot to add that if Wlad did go for the Chagaev fight providing he could pass the medical then i wouldn't have a problem with that. He has waited long enough.

    I just want this Haye fight to happen.

    A German doctor said that Valuev-Chagev II would have been allowed in Germany.

    They have an arena booked for that day, with many people having tickets, hotels, plane tickets etc booked. They have slots on German and American tv which they may not be able to get 3 weeks later, as the world doesn't revolve around this fight, they can either take the HBO date and make the money or fight in 3 weeks and possibly not have it. There's an awful lot involved with this fight and it'd clearly be better for them to go ahed with the planned date.

    Also, we only have Adam Booths word he'd be ready on July 11th. How can he say that exactly when his therapy hasn't even started yet? For all Wlad and his people know, it could be more BS to try and keep them on the hook, and when the cancel the original date, then they're stuck and have to wait for Haye, however long he takes.

    I'd personally be very happy with Klitschko vs Chagaev, hopefully that can happen.

    He has has hepatitis doesn't he? He should not be able to fight anywhere with a condition like that.

    It's Hepatitis B which is apparently nowhere near as serious/dangerous as hepatitis C (though I'm no medical expert!).

    Wlad and his team are clever people. They know what they are doing, I doubt they would fight Chagaev is Wlad was in anyway put at risk.

    The arena is free on the 11th July. I know thats only a small part of the many problems they will be faced with if they do decide to reschedule it but its a start.

    Im probably being unreasonable here but i've been counting down the days now for so long and to have it taken away from us fans is sickening :|

    Im sure they know what they are doing, and like you im no medical expert, but it was serious enough to get the fight pulled in Finland.

    I've now got my conspiracy hat on....

    What if everyone knew that Haye wouldn't be fighting last week and the blood tests aren't real???

    The news about Chagev pulling out was in some circles the day before it was made official and yet Chagev, I believe, still weighed in. :huh

    If Vlad were to fight Chagaev, the Haye fight would still happen down the road. I am damned disappointed that this fight is not going to happen June 20th.

    How in the hell does Booth speak with so much confidence that Haye will be ready by July 11th?What is to say that Haye will still be ailing as fight time arrives.This is bull**** and Klit should go ahead with June 20 with Chagaev if at all possible.
